The NFL is highly interested in quarterbacks that can scramble and avoid being sacked. Further, if they are going to take a sack................minimize the damage.
ANOTHER RELEVANT COMPARISON:
In Goff's final two seasons (25 games), he was sacked 54 times (2.16 times per games) losing 418 yards. (-7.74 yards lost per sack) THAT'S A BIG NUMBER)
In Wentz's final two seasons (31 games), he was sacked on 36 times (1.16 times per game) losing only 203 yards (5.6 yards lost per sack).
So...............NFL leading rusher candidate..............Fuck no.
Being mobile enough to avoid sacks and in the process picking up some valuable yardage........Fuck yeah.
Running threat from the qb position keeps the defense "honest" and should make passing easier
